Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of top100travelsites.com?

Top100travelsites.com showcases some of the best travel sites on the Internet ranked by popularity. The sites in our database have been selected by us or voluntarily submitted by people from all over the world. Our passion is traveling. We want to create a resource for others that love to travel too.

Who can join, and what does it cost?

Only travel related sites may be added (all others will be removed). No racist, hate, pornographic, illegal, etc. web site will be accepted. Joining is free. We reserve the right to reject any site we deem inappropriate, or in direct conflict with top100travelites.com.

Do you have a "NO SPAMMING" Policy?

We have a zero tolerance spamming policy. Members may not spam their voting links through e-mail, on newsgroups, through the use of java repeating links, use a false description for their voting link, etc. Members may use pop up windows(on their own sites), and can include their voting link in their OWN newsletters.

How exactly does it work?

Click on "Add your Site" then fill out the form and your site will be automatically added (after you add the voting code to your page, and at least one hit is sent to the voting script) when the next system re-rank occurs. Ranking is updated (every 60 minutes). All pages are reset (hit in & out are zeroed) every 3 weeks. The more votes you send, the higher up in the rankings your site will be listed, and the more exposure (and traffic) you'll receive. The script will auto-e-mail you your USERNAME and PASSWORD which you can use to change your account information, or view your stat totals at anytime. Remember, it pays to place your voting link in a prominent spot!

How does the voting work?

When a visitor to your site clicks on the voting link you've placed there, and comes through to the Top100, your site gets one credited "ranking hit in". The more hits "In", the higher a site appears in the ranking. Each one of those "Out" numbers represents a unique visitor going to a person's site from the top100.

How do I read the stats?

Rank - your current position on the top100 Title & Description - self explanatory In - hits from your site Out - hits sent to your site from top100

What, if after I join, I stop sending hits to the top100?

The voting script is aware of the activity from any given site. We have no policy to drop inactive sites at this time.

What, if I forget my password?

We send e-mail calling you silly names. Just kidding. Send e-mail to webmaster@top100travelsites.com with your account e-mail address and mention you've forgotten your password. We'll be happy to help.

Why doesn't my own site stats jive with the "Outs" on the Top100?

The Top100 script keeps very accurate stats, while most free stats programs do not. Also when your stat program starts its 24 hour cycle may be different than when the Top100 resets its stats. A free stat program that keeps reasonably accurate stat can be had at www.hitbox.com.

Why should I join?

To put it simply, more targeted traffic for your site. Although there are many popular voting sites for clip art, free stuff, etc., top100travelsites.com is one of the best for 'off-the-beaten-track' travel resources. This fact alone, plus our full time promotional team, insures top100travelsites.com will always be a very popular site.
